FK-FA1416 MULTI-FUNCTION 16x2 LCD SHIELD

Part Number : FK-FA1416

Product Name : MULTI-FUNCTION 16x2 LCD SHIELD This is the experimental board of Multi-Function 16x2 LCD Shield as the fundamental programming about the digits, alphabets and symbols. It can be used to connect with sensors such as Temperature Controller, Moisture Indicator, Infrared Receiver Module, Ultrasonic Module. This circuit is adaptable and is able to upgrade to the other form of circuit such as Temperature Controller, Multi-Function LCD SHIELD.

Specification

Circuit function

The circuit is composed of 4 main sections:

Section1 LCD Shield. The data pin of LCD is connected with the port P4-P7 on Arduino Board. The LCD Shield will receive data from Arduino Board and show the data on LCD.

Section2 There are 3 switches in Switch circuit connected with the port A0,A1 and A2.

Section3 The LED circuit has 2 switches which connected with the port A0 and P10.

Section4 is for connecting with Sensor Connectors;

-CON1 is used to connect with Moisture Indicator DHT11, DHT22 or Ultrasonic Module HC-SR04 through the port P8 and P9. To connect CON1 with Moisture Indicator, jump the jumpers of JP-P8 and JP-P9 but if we want to connect with Ultrasonic Module, remove the jumpers of JP-P8 and JP-P9 .

-CON2 is used to connect with Moisture Indicator such as 18B20 through the port P2.

-CON3 is used to connect with Infrared Receiver Module through the port P3.

Circuit Assembling

According to Figure 2, the easy assembling should be started with putting the smallest part on the circuit which is resistor. Caution, all parts must be on the right electrodes such as LED. Please see Figure 3 for putting parts on electrodes. On the soldering, use a soldering iron max. 40 watts and tin/lead at 60/40 with flux. After assembling and soldering, re-check the positions of each part. In case some parts are on the wrong positions, use solder suction or solder wick to correct the positioning of those parts.

}

void loop() {

digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // LED at the pin 13 is light-on.

delay(1000); // delay time 1 second

digitalWrite(13, LOW); // LED at the pin 13 is light-off.


}

5.After downloading, the LCD display at FK1416 board will show the message “Hello World!” at the first line and showing the message “I AM FUTURE KIT” at the second line which means the LCD display circuit section is working.



6. Connect LED TEST with CON3 point. The pin of Resistor must be connected with G point and the pin of LED TEST must be connected with P3. Open LAB1416-2 program in folder “EX”. Download LAB1416-2 program to Arduino board, LED TEST will blink. Remove LED TEST and connect it with CON2 point, do it in the same way as connecting with CON3 point but change the pin’s position from P3 to P2. LED TEST will blink. Remove LED TEST and connect it with CON1 point and put the pin that’s no connection with Resistor in P8, then P9. If LED blinks, it means the connector point is working.

7.Open LAB1416-3 in folder “EX” and download this program to Arduino UNO R3 board.




8.Press and hold switch SW1, LED-A0 will be light-on, release switch SW1, LED-A0 will be light-off.



11.If the test in step 8 to step 10 works, it means the switch circuit is functional.

The details of LAB1416-1 LCD DISPLAY TEST program

#include <LiquidCrystal.h> // Using the LiquidCrystal Library in Arduino software.

LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 7, 6, 5, 4);

// Setting the pin 12 is RS, pin 11 is E, pin 4 to pin 7 is Data.

void setup() {

lcd.begin(16, 2); // Setting the 16 Character 2 Lines LCD display

lcd.setCursor(0, 0); // Setting the first message, start at position 1 line 1. lcd.print(" Hello World!"); // Showing the message “ Hello World!” at position 1 line 1.

lcd.setCursor(0, 1); // Setting the second message, start at position 1 line 2.

lcd.print(" I AM FUTURE KIT"); // Showing the message “I AM FUTURE KIT” at position 1 line 2.

}

void loop() {

}



Function of LAB1416-1 program

The function of LAB1416-1 program starts from opening Library LiquidCrystal in Arduino program. Set the pin of P12 as RS pin of LCD, set the pin of P11 as E pin of LCD and set the pins of P4-P7 as Data pin. We can set the program to show the usage of 16 x 2 LCD Shield.

Set the first data start from Position1 and Line1 to display Hello World! And the second data start from Postion1 and Line1 to I AM FUTURE KIT.

The details of LAB1416-2 CON1-CON3 CONNECTOR TEST program

void setup() {





}

void loop() {











}


The program will determine pin 2, pin 3, pin 8 and pin 9 as OUTPUT pin. It will light up the LED at pin 2, pin 3, pin 8 and pin 9 at 1 second and will extinguished at 1 second, the program will start repeating the all LED.



Remark: In case we want LED ON/OFF frequency, we can reduce the value in the parentheses by commanding “delay”. The unit of the digit is millisecond.

The details of LAB1416-3 SWITCH TEST program

void setup() {

pinMode(A0, OUTPUT); // Set the pin A0 is OUTPUT pin.

pinMode(A1, INPUT_PULLUP); // Set the pin A1 is INPUT pin and using the PULL UP function.



}

void loop() {

int SW3 = digitalRead(A5); // Set “SW3” word is the variable of value at pin A5.



if (SW3 == LOW) { digitalWrite(A0, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(A0, LOW); }

// If press the switch SW3 (LOW status), LED at pin A0 will be light-on. But if no press the switch SW3 (HIGH status), LED at pin A0 will be light-off.





}


The program will determine pin A0 as OUTPUT pin and pin A1, pin A4 to pin A5 as INPUT pin. Besides INPUT pin, pin A1, pin A4 to pin A5 can be used for activating the function PULL UP as well.

Press and hold switch SW3 at pin A5, LED-A0 will be light-on, release switch SW3, LED-A0 will be light-off.

Press and hold switch SW2 at pin A4, LED-A0 will light up be light-on, release switch SW2, LED-A0 will be light-off.



Press and hold switch SW1 at pin A1, LED-A0 will be light-on, release switch SW1, LED-A0 will be light-off.
